We are pleased to issue the final guidelines for implementing the FY 2016-2017 Merit Pay Plan applicable to Policy-Covered (Non-Represented) Staff. The merit pool will be 3 percent calculated on the payroll base of eligible filled positions. Merit increases for eligible staff will be effective July 1, 2016 for those on a monthly pay schedule and June 19, 2016 for those paid on a biweekly schedule.

These guidelines do not apply to exclusively represented employees, whose salaries are determined in accordance with applicable collective bargaining agreements and/or meeting-and-conferring under the Higher Education Employer-Employee Relations Act (HEERA).
